Go Live Update Urls Pro replaces an old site address with a new one across a WordPress database. Use it for domain changes, rebrands, migrations, or a move from staging to production. Choose individual database tables or grouped sections, including tables created by add-ons.

Choose what the update covers

Site addresses may appear in posts, pages, image URLs, excerpts, post metadata, custom post types, widgets and widget data, settings, settings, and other site content. Pro handles serialized, encoded, and JSON data across tables, and can convert relative URLs to absolute URLs.

The plugin identifies tables that may not be safe to update. Review those tables before proceeding, and make a database backup before updating a table marked as not safe.

Test the proposed address change

In the dashboard, open Tools and select Go Live. Enter or review the old and new URLs, then pick the tables or sections to include. Predictive URL entry can fill in the site addresses, and an option can correct common URL entry mistakes.

Test the changes before applying them. The test report shows how many URLs would be affected and where they are located. Real-time reporting shows counts and locations during the update. Afterward, review the update report and history, which include counts and locations for changed URLs. You can also view the history of the site's address.

Use the dashboard or WP-CLI

The add-on supports single-site and multisite installations. Administrators can execute a guided update in the dashboard or use WP-CLI to update URLs from the command line.

Documentation and support

The Pro edition includes priority support and access to a members-only support area. Documentation and troubleshooting information are available for domain update workflows.
